What About Movie Popcorn?

This may sound like a strange question, but does anyone know EXACTLY what is in movie popcorn?? I could swear I had a slight reaction from it (yes, it included the "butter-y" stuff on top.) Corn chips, etc., are never a problem, so I wonder if it was something in the... butterlike substance. Does anyone know??

Puzzled,

Anise

my kids have nausea after movie popcorn so I stopped getting it at the theatre. I get a bag of plain chips pr somethign like that for them,or we stop before or after the movie for snacks. I think cc is an issue on the prep of everything as so many hands preparing stuff for everyone in line

I went to a movie with a friend and had about ten pieces of popcorn with that buttery topping. Boy was I sick and I had an outrageous breakout of DH also.

The following may explain why we have issues with movie popcorn - esp considering the number who have multiple food allergies/intolerances! None of it is even related to real butter!

I searched and found a site selling commercial products for movie theaters. The "butter" products sold for movie popcorn - was artificial butter, butter flavored oils and coconut oil was popular as were soybean based oil that was "butter flavored" with dyes added.

Hydrogenated coconut oil is typically used to pop the kernals, and there’s an artificial-butter-flavored topping available that is composed largely of hydrogenated soybean oil, both of which include beta-carotene for coloring according to their respective ingredient labels.

A search for the label ingredient “artificial butter flavoring” is revealing, it seems one should not deliberately concentrate and inhale it, some workers in popcorn production plants appear to have had lung problems.

Sorry you guys all got sick from popcorn and the "butter".

I will take heed and bring my own virgin corn, thanks for the warning.

I have had no problems with it. But, I skip the butter topping!! But hearing those ingredients, makes me think I'll bring my own organic varitey!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
